              2002 PENNSYLVANIA BOYS BASKETBALL CHAMPIONS

 Mr. SPECTER. Madam President, I seek recognition today to 
acknowledge the Golden Lancers, the boys basketball team at Bishop 
Hannan High School in Scranton, PA.
  On March 23, 2002, the Lancers won the PIAA Class AA State Boys 
Basketball Championship, when, in a very close game, the team defeated 
Sto-Rox, 70-68, becoming the first Lackawanna County team to win a 
State title since 1993 and the first team from Scranton to take home 
the title since Bishop Klonowski in 1976.
  Each and every member of the team and its coaching staff should be 
proud of their accomplishment. Their hard work and commitment have 
produced many awards throughout this past season and will no doubt mean 
even more in the years to come.
  I want to express my congratulations not only to the team and 
coaches, but to the entire Bishop Hannan community for representing 
Pennsylvania in such an outstanding manner.

                          ____________________
